“Afterlife with Archie” #6-10

By | May 21, 2020 | Reviews

With “Afterlife with Archie”’s first arc giving audiences Archie comics like never before, and proving a hit critically and commercially, the desire for more of its horrific version of Riverdale was huge. Shortly after the second arc started, Aguirre-Sacasa launched “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” too, leaving “Afterlife with Archie”’s second arc to be published over […]

“Aliens: Labyrinth”

By | May 11, 2020 | Reviews

Alien and Aliens are incredible films, but the true source of fans’ fascination with the franchise arguably remains H.R. Giger’s repulsive yet beautiful beast itself. Seemingly the deadly darkness of space come to life, it’s an amoral monster that you can only dream of studying safely, and it’s this dangerous fantasy that fueled Jim Woodring […]

“Afterlife with Archie” #1-5

By | May 7, 2020 | Reviews

Despite there being a plethora of Archie comics out there, I’ve never read any of them. Sure, that relaunch with Fiona Staples artwork was tempting, with a handful of other intriguing miniseries following that, but I’m yet to sit down and read any. I’ve read “Criminal: The Last of the Innocent,” which has its Archie […]

“The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis”

By | Apr 17, 2020 | Reviews

In the early days of the quarantine (or perhaps it was during the spring break staycation—who can remember?), I visited my comic book themed Amazon wish list, determined to pull the trigger on its longest-tenured resident.

“Casanova” #1

By | Apr 16, 2020 | Reviews

“Casanova” is such a well-constructed piece of comic fiction that, instead of talking about a whole volume of what is now a nearly fourteen-year-old comic, this review will focus on just the first issue. Hopefully, this small taste of the madness that the creative team has created will be enough to entice you into diving […]

“The Books of Magic”

By | Apr 13, 2020 | Reviews

Nearly every piece of writing about “The Books of Magic” seems to start by comparing it to Harry Potter. After all, the premise of “young bespectacled boy is told he is capable of magic” makes it an easy connection. This makes the comic a bit hard to sell for new readers, even though “The Books […]

“Guardians of the Galaxy” #0.1

By | Apr 9, 2020 | Reviews

If you cast your mind back to 2013, we lived in a world where hardly anyone knew the Guardians of the Galaxy. Hardly anyone was “Hooked on a Feeling,” but that didn’t worry Feige and co.. Not resting on their laurels following their record-breaking box office success that saw the Avengers assemble for the first […]
